Dumped

I've been dumped.

Yes, this lady I've had a relationship with ... has dumped me.

Every day, I would get home from work, and I'd hear her voice.

Oh, she wasn't at the house. We didn't live together. But every day, she always left me a message on the phone. And she told me how important it was to call me. I meant something to her.

But now it's over.

She's dumped me.

I knew this day would come. In my heart, I knew it wouldn't last. Oh, I could have tried to fool myself that we had more ... but we didn't. And I knew it.

Wednesday, there was no doubt it was over. And yes, I saw it coming.

When I got in from work Wednesday afternoon, I went straight to the answering machine. The call counter was at "0" ... and she hadn't called.

And I knew she wouldn't call again.

But ... you know, there's a chance she will call again. I just need to wait.

In fact, I know she'll call again. Not this month. Not next month. Not even next year.

But, I think after enough time has passed, she'll call.

Yes, I expect that one afternoon in 2008, there'll be her voice on my answering machine:
Hello, this is Peggy Martin. And I'm calling to ask for your vote...

I can hardly wait.

  2. You know, that's really weird. I was dumped yesterday as well. Bitches don't know a good thing when they have it in the palm of their hand. God I feel like such a stooge. So used. Like a piece of meat. Unlike you, I don't want another phone call...it's over. I can't go through that devastation again...I don't even want to hear Katherine Harris' name ever again. She does have a cute little African American aide who was giving me the eyeball though! If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
